Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Two for Tuesday

It’s a warm one, 28c (83f) with a humidex of 95f, it was 31C earlier, but with a good breeze it was tolerable.

Tomorrow it’s supposed to be as hot but more humid.

The chickies are pretty good, just the broodies I worry about, I will put the fan in the hen house now.

Two Sisters (Rose and Dorothy)

Two Silkies (Marty and Curly)

Two challengers (Blanche and Buttercup)

Two Broodies (Misty and Whiskers)

Did you remember!??

If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance…. Baffle them with bull$4177.

Not at all! She was maybe 3 feet from me in my chair with most of the others gathered around my feet.
I think she just discovered she can see further when she jumps up on the bench!

Oh she was trying out her big girl voice

~20 weeks. Someone's peep is going away already. There is a voice changing out there.

I suspected as much, so pretty much half way there !

Oh it’s so darling when they start getting the voice change

When I returned the doc to my manager I told him that's the most I've slung on one pasture in quite a while

Bad Drivers

I resist doing this whenever possible as I want to keep the thread on chickens a much as I can. But this clearly bugged me the other day and so I apologize to everyone in advance but I need to take one last bite of this apple.

I have been keeping track since our little discussion regarding people in expensive sports cars the other day. Since then I have been cut off, and dangerously so, by a Chevy Cruze. Nearly sideswiped by a tractor trailer, I had to take to the shoulder and slam on the brakes, and a mini van of some kind (less dangerous with the mini van). Had one of those huge pickup trucks tailgate me at 75 mph. I mean he was so close I could see the radiator clearly in my mirror.

2 of these instances had the real possibility of a serious accident if I had not been paying attention and been able to react quickly.

I have seen 1 BMW behaving badly. Luckily that moron did not affect me in any way.

First, everyone drive carefully. Please think of others.

To my point, does anyone think maybe we notice the expensive sports cars more because we are predisposed to think of them as jerks?

I haven't been counting but I'd notice if someone in a fancy car did something silly on the road.

Instead, the drivers making poor choices around me are sometimes elderly people going very slow on freeways and mostly people in mid-range cars who rush or tailgate or cut people off.

I wonder if there have been studies on this sort of thing? I am sure the insurance business has done them!

The chooks prefer being outside. I don’t know how they can stand it. It’s 103f humidity is higher than normal. Dakota is still inside with me, and I tried taking her out but she didn’t want to.
Sadly she’s going to have to soon.
